It's strange, the terrain looks more colorful while the houses are still gray, but I guess the work on shaders and model skins (Maybe models themselves?) for terrain has taken quite some time, and it is stunning :)

Yes, terrain texture has been heavily edited, because part of the city you can beyond the river didn't existed before. Still this is are draft, and then location will be in better readiness state, I'll made a better and more detailed texture for it and will adjust details to be as much closer to terrain color as possible. This will mask grass border around player and make it unnoticeable.
